The status of biology in Kant?s system of science is often taken to be problematic. By analyzing Kant?s philosophy of biology in relation to his conception of proper science, the present book determines Kant?s views on the scientific status of biology. Combining a broad ideengeschichtlich approach with a detailed historical reconstruction of philosophical and scientific texts, the book establishes important interconnections between Kant?s philosophy of science, his views on biology, and his reception of late 18th century biological theories. It discusses Kant?s views on science and biology as articulated in his published writings and in the Opus postumum. The book shows that although biology is a non-mathematical science and the relation between biology and other natural sciences is not specified, Kant did allow for the possibility of providing scientific explanations in biology and assigned biology a specific domain of investigation.           . 410 0$aStudies in German Idealism,$x2542-9868 ;$v15 606 $aPhilosophy?History 606 $aScience?History 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aHistory of Philosophy 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aEarly Modern Philosophy 606 $aPhilosophy 615 0$aPhilosophy?History. 615 0$aScience?History. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 14$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aEarly Modern Philosophy. 615 24$aPhilosophy. 676 $a193 700 $avan den Berg$b Hein$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01226494 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484464703321 996 $aKant on Proper Science$92847823 997 $aUNINA
